So the upshot of this article is that lens engineers know how to B/S ans spin too..I love the line...this lens is unequalled in Bokeh...because it's got a slightly closer MFD than the EF version...really? Then the twaddle about negating cats eye Bokeh...only to show multiple images using this lens with exactly that issue on prominent display.
So for your rather exorbitant retail price...you get an 85mm f1.2 lens...with a Blue goo element, a function ring, a much bigger lens, a non fly by wire AF system and pretty much every thing else that the EF lens does exemplary. Optically...sure it'll be sharp...but so is the EF version. Oh...and that lens was a portrait lens...so it doesn't need a closer focus distance than it's already got.
The twaddle about the RF lens being longer than the EF version due to the lack of a mirror box just made me laugh...so are all RF lenses over 35mm going to be bigger and heavier than their EF counter parts? Kind of makes me worry about the rumored RF 500mm f4.
